Oceanic and continental plates are colliding.

Explanation:

On the image, we can see an oceanic plate on the left, and a continental plate on the right, moving toward each other and colliding. Because the two plates have different densities, thickness, and elevation, one of the subducts below the other, that being the oceanic plate. As the oceanic plate subducts below the continental plate, it gradually moves down in the mantle layer, getting melted, recycled, and maybe the same material be pushed toward the surface again.

On the plate boundary, convergent in this case, there is intense geological activity. Magma manages to rise through the cracks and gaps, and it forms volcanoes, creating a continental volcanic arc. Also, there are lot of earthquakes at such boundaries, as there is constant adjustment of the crust.

Such boundaries can be found between the:

Pacific and North American plates
Pacific and Eurasian plates
Pacific and Australian plates
Pacific and Philippine plates
Nazca and South American plates
Cocos and North American plate

Which of the following describes a continental climate?

Andre45 [30]

The correct answer is - B. less rainfall and temperature swings between seasons.

The continental climates are under heavy influence of the continental air masses, which are warm and dry, or cold and dry. The influences of the sea are minimal and only in certain parts of the year.

These climate types experience the change of four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, all of which have their own unique characteristics.

The spring and the autumn are mild, and are usually the periods when most of the precipitation occurs.

The summers are very hot and dry, while the winters are very cold and dry.

The temperatures from the summer and the winter may range up to 70 C degrees, with having 35 C degrees above zero in the summer, and 35 C degrees bellow zero in the winters. These climate types are mostly found deeper into the mainland of the continents.
